Abstract

A configuration for pre-configuring a UE with a gap configuration for each possible BWP, to allow the UE to only use gaps needed to perform a measurement based on an active BWP of the UE. The apparatus receives a first configuration for one or more BWPs. The apparatus receives a second configuration for one or more gaps for one or more measurements. The apparatus receives an indication of an active BWP from the one or more BWPs. The apparatus determines whether to apply a gap of the one or more gaps based on the active BWP and a measurement to be performed for the one or more measurements.

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . A method of wireless communication at a user equipment (UE), comprising:
 receiving a first configuration for one or more bandwidth parts (BWPs);   receiving a second configuration for one or more gaps for one or more measurements;   receiving an indication of an active BWP from the one or more BWPs; and   determining whether to apply a gap of the one or more gaps based on the active BWP and a measurement to be performed of the one or more measurements.   
     
     
         2 . The method of  claim 1 , wherein receiving the second configuration includes receiving configurations for a plurality of sets of gaps. 
     
     
         3 . The method of  claim 2 , wherein determining whether to apply the gap includes selecting a first set of the plurality of sets of gaps for applying the gap for the active BWP, wherein the selected first set of the plurality of sets of gaps is used to perform the one or more measurements. 
     
     
         4 . The method of  claim 2 , wherein a first set of the plurality of sets of gaps corresponds to the active BWP of the one or more BWPs. 
     
     
         5 . The method of  claim 4 , wherein a second set of the plurality of sets of gaps corresponds to a second BWP of the one or more BWPs. 
     
     
         6 . The method of  claim 1 , wherein the one or more measurements include a neighbor cell measurement. 
     
     
         7 . The method of  claim 6 , wherein the UE does not apply the gap when a frequency for the neighbor cell measurement is within the active BWP. 
     
     
         8 . The method of  claim 6 , wherein a frequency for the neighbor cell measurement is not within the active BWP, and the UE determines to apply the gap in order to perform the neighbor cell measurement. 
     
     
         9 . The method of  claim 1 , wherein the one or more measurements include at least one of a CSI-RS measurement or a synchronization signal block (SSB) measurement, wherein the UE determines whether to apply the gap based on the active BWP and a frequency of a CSI-RS or SSB to be measured. 
     
     
         10 . The method of  claim 9 , wherein the UE does not apply the gap when the frequency of the CSI-RS or SSB is within the active BWP. 
     
     
         11 . The method of  claim 9 , wherein the UE determines to apply the gap when the frequency of the CSI-RS or SSB is not within the active BWP. 
     
     
         12 . An apparatus for wireless communication at a user equipment (UE), comprising:
 a memory; and   at least one processor coupled to the memory and configured to:
 receive a first configuration for one or more bandwidth parts (BWPs); 
 receive a second configuration for one or more gaps for one or more measurements; 
 receive an indication of an active BWP from the one or more BWPs; and 
 determine whether to apply a gap of the one or more gaps based on the active BWP and a measurement to be performed for the one or more measurements. 
   
     
     
         13 . The apparatus of  claim 12 , wherein to receive the second configuration the at least one processor further configured to receive configurations for a plurality of sets of gaps. 
     
     
         14 . The apparatus of  claim 13 , wherein to determine whether to apply the gap the at least one processor is configured to select a first set of the plurality of sets of gaps for applying the gap for the active BWP, wherein the selected first set of the plurality of sets of gaps is used to perform the one or more measurements. 
     
     
         15 . The apparatus of  claim 13 , wherein a first set of the plurality of sets of gaps corresponds to the active BWP of the one or more BWPs. 
     
     
         16 . The apparatus of  claim 15 , wherein a second set of the plurality of sets of gaps corresponds to a second BWP of the one or more BWPs. 
     
     
         17 . The apparatus of  claim 12 , wherein the one or more measurements include a neighbor cell measurement. 
     
     
         18 . The apparatus of  claim 17 , wherein the UE does not apply the gap when a frequency for the neighbor cell measurement is within the active BWP. 
     
     
         19 . The apparatus of  claim 17 , wherein a frequency for the neighbor cell measurement is not within the active BWP, and the UE determines to apply the gap in order to perform the neighbor cell measurement.
